In this fifth installment in the critically acclaimed Irene Huss series, three men are found brutally executed in one of Göteborg's most fashionable neighborhoods. All three men were involved in an online poker company, but that's all they appear to have in common. The complex investigation immerses Detective Inspector Irene Huss and her colleagues into a world of expensive cars, fancy homes, and impressive castles in the air. Meanwhile, the normally peaceful atmosphere of the Huss family is disturbed by marital tension as Irene suspects her husband Krister of a having an affair with a younger woman.

Reviews
“These days Scandinavian crime writers are thick on the ground. It’s nice to see that the women can be just as bloodthirsty as the men.”
“As good as Louise Welsh’s similarly creepy tour of Glasgow.”
“Finely crafted novels”
“Both readers new to the series and avid fans will enjoy investigating this puzzling case with Inspector Huss.”
“Compelling characters and steady suspense make this a fine Nordic crime novel in the spirit of Henning Mankell and Karin Fossum.”
